I've always gotten sick with using birth control pills, and this was the last option without switching over completely to a different hormonal birth control. At first, all was well with Nuvaring. It went in, and I didn't have to do anything with it. However, I started getting nauseated, and when my boyfriend and I would try to have sex, I would be in so much pain I would cry. We started taking out the ring before sex, but the pain made it so we couldn't have sex. I'm still on it but I'm going to go to the gyno, so I can hopefully get onto something else.
